Banning social media won’t stop kids from using it. It’ll just create unnecessary problems for the kids with the state.

Decrees are bullshit and create more problems than they solve, every time.

People need to learn on their own from reasoning, observation, role models, and from experience. The drugs are out there. The weapons are out there. The bad decisions can always be made or not. The individual needs to navigate the world for themselves and figure it all out - there is no other way.

Gm,

Do you read these headlines and just 💀?

Also astonishing how many flat-out refused to read the thread, to gain context before responding.

Or who have read it, and patently refuse to understand or show empathy because they are inherently cruel and misogynistic.

I've had zero social media outside Telegram meme channels and using TikTok for a business venture, an experience I despised to my core.

Started a Substack recently and decided there's no choice but to bite the bullet and sign up for Elon's X in order to have a shot at getting enough readers to make it worthwhile.

My experience signing up...

-download X

-requests phone number, select "use email instead", nice 😏

-answer a few more questions, requests phone number again. now impossible to click past

-enter burner phone number

-"unable to register account with this number, please try again"

-grit teeth, cringe, enter personal cell number I've had for 15 years

-"unable to register account with this number, please try again"

-😡😡😡

-delete app

Don't know if it's possible to grow an audience exclusively on decentralized platforms, but that's where I'm at. A pox on centralized social media, and on the executives who make using it a living hell. Nostr only for me, I'll give it a fair shot before passing judgement.

#nostr is so early. Try to stop me from generating a new private key and starting a new account.

collective labeling of hate, web of trust filtering and then being able to filter your experience based on the communities flags in an function users can set before they,read their first note is the way we protect people and keep the nostr...nostr-y. all with opt-in featuring so users still can choose to take the well lit street or the dark alley 🤙

We all forgive you for man-brain, but because you said something and are willing to do something about it! Thank you for hearing feedback and understanding how it comes off to others. I appreciate you 🫂

I think it’s easy to say just mute the person. But if you don’t have the lived experience of being a woman, or being part of a marginalized group, you will never understand our experience, especially what it’s like to be on nostr.

I love nostr AND it’s challenging to be here because it feels like (again, from my perspective) another man’s world; built by men, for men, that only men will truly benefit from (if you feel defensive after reading that, you may want to self-reflect on why).

I understand the purpose and updates being made consistently. But without some type of protection from the /harassment/hate, I just can’t see nostr expanding the ways it’s envisioned.

I appreciate the men on here that have been kind to me and have my back. You’re the only reason I’ve stayed 🫂

And please don’t come for me, I’m tired today 😂

The artificial womb is already a reality. When in the future there will be a war of the genders, men will bet on cybernetics and will create ready-made soldiers directly from artificial wombs, and women will have nothing to do but to turn into mutant hormaphrodites with a bunch of muscles.

Lol don't they know they can have a sausage relay and play tummy sticks with each other?
